"Created by former X-Files writer Gabe Rotter, the psychological thriller follows author Aggie Wiggs (Danes) as she profiles a rich real estate magnate named Nile Jarvis (Matthew Rhys). Much like Robert Durstthe subject of HBO's The JinxJarvis is accused of murdering his ex-wife despite claiming that she mysteriously disappeared. Wiggs hopes to uncover the truth by writing his official biography. But after her son is killed in a car accident, she becomes intrigued by how her subject may have crossed the line so easily."
"The Netflix drama is billed as a limited series, and it's safe to say that the story finds a definitive end in episode 8's finale. If The Beast in Me returns for season 2, the creative team will need to find a new story for Danes's Auggie Wiggs to cover. To the extent that Aggie is a writer who has been delivered to this next stage of her life, whatever that stage is if there is a story, there might be more."
